1. What is Economic Clan revenue?
2. What is the benefits of Economic Clan revenue?
3. How is it calculated? not "Jon's secret formula", but what is the general idea of how its calculated :P

It is money coming in to members (transfers)
Nothing
Money comes in, and it gets added to the total.

Benifits are : only pay 15% BS fees when forging , and you get a transfer fee discount!

he asked about revenue, not the Econ clan benefits.

Revenue results in NO bonuses.

As far as I know there is no pt to having the ecenomic clans although I could be wrong.

I am in the strongest economic clan in the game. Let me enlighten those who have never been in one.

My personal feelings regarding the benefits of an economic clan are as follows

#1. I enjoy an extremely low transfer fee when transferring items to other people.
#2. Transferring between members within the same economic clan is also much cheaper, although I don't have anyone else in my clan.
#3. Forging costs (which has already been mentioned) are 15% of what the Blacksmith costs.

So, for example if you want to focus on financial objectives within the game an economic clan is quite useful.

For example, I've seen clans who forge as a team. One person recieves an item and forges their BAs worth. Then they transfer that item to the next forger in their clan for cheap, and so on. When they are done they transfer the item back to that person, for another minimal fee.

I, myself, run a bank. I am constantly making transfers to and from people. My transfer fees are much lower than others not in an economic clan. These low transfer rates help me out a lot.

The point I am trying to make is that if you want to fight, fight, fight, than an economic clan is not for you. You will not get a bonus for fighting. If you want to focus on forging or plan on making many transfers for large sums of money than an economic clan may be for you.

Lastly, if everyone thinks that economic clans are not beneficial. Then shouldn't their be a better benefit of joining one. Just thought I'd try.

Fighting is the point of the game, the entire thing is built around it. Taking away from that would lessen the game as a whole. Econ clans have plenty for the purpose they serve.
